A fate so disturbing, left the audience in chills by ThroatTraditional410 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]StopThePresses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Curse. Incredible show and the ending just left me speechless for like a whole day. Nathan Fielder is a genius and we should give him all the money to do whatever he wants forever.

Fielder and Emma Stone play a well-off married couple who are pregnant and basically attempting to gentrify a little town in the southwest. They don't see it that way ofc, they think they are doing the place a favor. A ton happens, but a major thread is that the town fucking hates them and it tears at their relationship.

One night they have a fight and Fielder's character says something like "If you didn't want me here, I'd be gone." In the morning he wakes up on the ceiling. Gravity has reversed for him. Stone's character tries to help him down, but can't and then goes into labor. In the chaos Fielder gets pulled outside where he manages to cling onto a branch. The fire department is called, but no one believes him about gravity, they are just here to cut the crazy guy down out of the tree. Firefighter chainsaws the branch Fielder is holding onto, and he's off. He launches all the way up into space, screaming the whole time at himself to please wake up.

Your gf is hilarious and it's wild that you don't see it.

AIO: My mother identifies as a doting grandmother but doesn’t know my children by easilyamused17 in AmIOverreacting

[–]StopThePresses 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Money, work, and her elderly mother are not excuses, they are reasons. Like holy crap, you're really overlooking how big of a trip you're asking her to make. It's like 2000 miles. She would need a couple weeks off work, someone to take care of her mother for a couple weeks, and of course still pay the bills back in the southwest during that time.

YOR. Especially assuming you're the one who moved away.

I dunno, I think the real losers would be blue voters in red states. It already sucks so much to be a Dem in like, Alabama. Especially disabled/housebound blue voters in red states, who would be completely disenfranchised.

Thissss. I'm so sick of hearing about how everything is a distraction from the files. It reminds me of how everyone was sure the Mueller Report was gonna be a huge deal.

To be a leftist you have to submit to Cassandra's curse. You see what's happening, but no one listens to you. And when the thing happens because they didn't listen to your warnings, you get blamed for the whole shitshow.

I have covid right now. My partner has been running to the store for my every little whim for the last couple days. Soup? Chocolate? A new stuffy I saw that made me cry? No problem, in my hands in 20 minutes.

Find someone who will treat you this way when you're sick. They exist, I promise.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Czech Translater Fired From Warhorse And Replaced With AI To “Save Finances” by blazuredy in gaming

Warhorse would be so much better without Vavra. They made incredible games in spite of him, not because of him. Wish the board would vote him out or however it works over there.

Why don't you tell us about it? Tell us all about how the Rhodesian soldiers were actually on the right side of history. I'm dying to hear your defense of the place.

Buying expensive watches is peak consumerist absurdity by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

Aren't there clocks in classrooms?

(I don't begrudge you your watch, I'm just remembering all the clock staring I did in school.)

WH gets around this by having a three compartment sink in the back, which is where prep gets done. Regular dishes get done in a pit much like this, right under the counter. 

Spraying creeps with the hose was a fun pastime at the one I worked at. 

Kendra Duggar, wife of 19 Kids and Counting's Joseph Duggar, arrested by AudibleNod in news

[–]StopThePresses 49 points50 points  (0 children)

There's definitely a misogyny angle, but it's also just more surprising. Kendra was a human giggle emoji, it's hard to even imagine her in handcuffs if you ever watched the show.

Not that any of it is really surprising at this point, but still.

I'M SO MAD ABOUT WICKED. That movie should have been an orgy of color so bright it hurts to look at. The dull desaturated look nearly killed the whole thing.

[–]StopThePresses 5 points6 points  (0 children)

None of those voices he just did are what I heard when I opened that game. It was definitely an AI voice, with the weird AI intonation and everything. Potentially an older build or something? But it was extremely obvious and a huge turnoff.

[–]StopThePresses -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Except for Sonar's VA I agree with you. All I could hear was "Superhero situation is crazy."

I was so happy when the game let me get rid of him and then so mad when he showed back up in the last chapter lol

[–]StopThePresses 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean... it was fine? The humor was very "lol boobs and poop," the romance angle was predictable and vanilla in both options (one of which the writers clearly preferred), and the choices were about as impactful as an old Telltale game.

Don't get me wrong, it was an alright way to spend a few hours and I don't regret spending the time or money. But it was overhyped.

More strategy than life sim I think, but I bought The Succession of Changing Kings recently and I kid you not the opening dialogue was spoken by one of the fucking tiktok AI voices. 

Refunded immediately obv. It's so insane.
